Want a fresher face, faster recovery, and a longer, healthier life without needles or quick fixes? We sit down with Dr. Greet of REnew YU Naples to unpack a natural approach that helps the body repair itself using closed-loop bioelectrical modulation. Instead of fillers and toxins, this conversation explores how gentle electrical signals can improve muscle tone, fascia health, and blood flow, leading to visible changes in skin quality and structure while supporting joint comfort and injury healing.

We open up the science in plain language. You’ll hear how better cell communication—powered by oxygen, circulation, and nutrients—can reboot youthful signaling patterns. Dr. Greet explains why this research-backed approach is gaining traction across Europe and how a growing network of clinics shares protocols and outcomes. The method is relaxing, noninvasive, and designed to work with the fundamentals: strength training for bones and muscle, cardio for metabolic health, whole-food nutrition, hydration, and solid sleep. When the basics meet smart bioelectric support, results show up faster and last longer.

Beyond the tech, this is a story about purpose and community. From a Belgian farm upbringing to a career in women’s health and physical therapy, to building a family-run clinic in Naples, Dr. Greet’s path centers on service. We talk about giving back through local cancer initiatives, the importance of flexible, client-first care, and why nature—sunlight, sea air, grounding, and movement—remains a potent ally for longevity. Whether you want to smooth fine lines, bounce back from aches, or simply age with more energy, you’ll leave with a clear, practical blueprint.

Intro/Close:

Welcome to the Fort Myers Beach, a good neighbor podcast, where the sun's always shining and the stories are even brighter. Each episode will bring you closer to the neighbors, local legends, these five businesses that make Fort Myers Beach like Paradise feel love. Grab a drink and let's make the people who make this island feel like home. We want to send out some island love to air tips with Edward Jones, State Insurance USA, and Home Welfare Services Fort Myers. They are the businesses that allow us to share the soul of our community with every listener. From local stories to the positive vibe of island life. Here's your host, Cabo Jim Schaller.

Cabo Jim:

Welcome, good neighbors. Today we have Dr. Greet from REnew Yu Natural Health and Beauty down in Naples. We're jumping off the island for a little bit, but welcome.

Dr Greet:

Thank you.

Cabo Jim:

Yeah, pleasure to have you on the show today and share your story with our listeners. So why don't you start off by sharing a little bit about Renew to start off with for those that aren't uh familiar with it?

Dr Greet:

Okay, thank you. So Renew YU is actually a natural uh approach instead of uh doing Botox and fillers, uh we're trying to heal the body from the inside. So if we talk, for example, about fillers with the Renew device at Renew YU, uh we can uh stimulate your muscles, your fascia, your blood supply in your face and your neck, and your muscles will become uh more toned again and thicker, so it will fill your face like it would be filler. So, all in a natural way, it's really based on uh stimulating your natural healing process from the inside out.

Cabo Jim:

And that's the important part being a doctor, right? You want to do that naturally, you don't want to have all these chemicals, and it's what you're doing is becoming more and more popular, correct?

Dr Greet:

Yes, it is. But because what we see is people live longer or they want to live longer, and so we want to also make sure that they have a better, longer life, a healthier long life, instead of filling our body with toxins like Botox or fillers or other stuff. We really want to live longer, but the key thing is also healthier and have a better life, exactly.

Cabo Jim:

And it's not for just uh the young or old, right? It's kind of for everybody, correct?

Dr Greet:

It is really for everybody, you know. The I would say the sooner you begin, uh the easier, the the quicker results. But my age group of clients goes up to uh 93 right now, still. So, yes, and they have great results. Now it depends, the results is a little bit depending on uh what you eat, your lifestyle. So here at Renew You, we also talk about that, you know, your water intake, what food to eat, what's best for you.

Cabo Jim:

So it becomes a whole wellness plan, and that's exactly again to your point. You know, you want to be healthy on all levels, not just one level, but yeah, the healthier, the health it helps everything, right? Absolutely, yes. So, why Naples? What made you choose to open up in Naples?

Dr Greet:

Well, I love Naples. So originally I'm from Europe, Belgium, and I moved to Michigan for like several years, yeah, from 95 till 2009. Wow. And I had a friend here that uh had a condo, and I would come like every year for five days with her, visit her. And one day I was like, you know what? I love Naples so much, that's where I want to open my business. I sold my business in Michigan, and this is uh the fountain of youth.

Cabo Jim:

Absolutely, and it's you know, it beats shoveling snow, right? And being in the cold weather. Though we did have a little cold snap recently, just kind of reminds us why we live down here. Yes, that is great. That is, I I love it. I love it. So you found your way down here, and now you're you're operating, you know, and it sounds like a dream job living in Naples, being by the beach, but I'm sure you've had some struggles along the way to get up and running, correct? Or either get to where you are now. Are there certain things that kind of help define who you are today?

Dr Greet:

Well, you know, I am uh who I am today is really I was raised in a big family. I have six other siblings. My uh parents were farmers in Belgium, so we had to fight for what we wanted in life, and so I always, you know, I'm a doctor in physical therapy, so I always was in health already. In I taught in university uh about woman's health, and this is really my passion. Then beauty came along, and I always wanted to have the best version of myself, you know, being in physical therapy, exercising, what's also very important, what we preach a lot here. And so uh I had that in my head, and I was like, you know, everybody was asking, when are you retiring? And I'm like, retiring? I'm gonna start a new business in Naples. I love working with people, and um, I love what I'm doing, and you know, it's a passion, and that's it.

Cabo Jim:

You gotta follow your passion, and and when you're following your passion, it doesn't seem like work, correct?

Dr Greet:

It doesn't feel like work at all, and then one of the most important things that I also want to point out is my daughter is working with me, so it's a mother duel.

Cabo Jim:

I love it, including the parents.

Dr Greet:

Very unique, yes, very unique, yes.

Cabo Jim:

That I love that, I love it. You know, and again, following your passion is what's important, and then part of what we do here at the the Fort Myers Beach Good Neighbor is that we're about community, you know, and bringing people together and and really building a strong sense of community down here. Are there certain things you guys are doing maybe to help incorporate yourself into the the local community?

Dr Greet:

Absolutely. So we sponsor, for example, in February the cancer advisors. So we sponsor that and we try to really because there is so much that you can do, there's so much events, but we try to pick and choose the ones that are helping the community, giving back. Uh, you know, I'm I'm really a giver, more than a taker. So if we we can do that, uh, that's what we will sponsor. So I uh also organized, even in Michigan, I had my nonprofit organization, and it was called uh Cancer of what was it called? Cancer of Neighbors. So it was helping, you know, your neighborhood, same thing, community giving back in not their medical bills, but more like rent and you know, if they had payments for their cars. So I was involved as giving back, you know, a long time ago in my career. Uh, it builds up great relationships, even with my clients or patients in my early on. If they couldn't pay, I would just say, you know what, I will do it. It's it's that's what I love. It's helping, helping at the end of the day, making people feel better.

Cabo Jim:

And that's what it again, you know, that's what it's about. It's about coming together, helping each other, supporting each other. Because you know, at every every time in everybody's life, somebody's up, somebody's down, and you know, we need to do it, you know. Yeah, yeah. So I love it. So within your industry currently, I mean, there's a lot that you do, but do you notice certain things trending, or are there any new technologies out there?

Dr Greet:

Well, the I think the technology that we have, it's called uh closed loop electrical modulation. That's a total new technology that is coming from Europe. Uh, the device that we use is invented by Dr. Caravani. He is a dermatologist and also a plastic surgeon in Europe. And he also, you know, was doing fillers and lasers and all this, what's on the market, what's what's a hype here, a hype there. And at a certain point, he was like, I don't want to do that anymore. And he started only to do research. So he invented actually the device that does the electrical modulation. Now we see in the meantime that bioelectrical modulation is also research in Tufts University, Stanford, Harvard, especially in Tufts University, Michael Levin is a great uh professor doing research. So it's it's gonna fill in all together. I think within the next, I would say maximum three to five years, we're gonna see a total no new natural revolution and in the medical field. It's gonna go. So the new thing is gonna be, and I can guarantee that it's gonna be a natural revolution. People are gonna think about living healthier, you know, working out, women weight, weight training, uh uh having stronger bones, it's it's all gonna go in that direction.

Cabo Jim:

And I I hope so, because it's you know it's not about the chemicals and the drugs, it's about the the nature, the natural ways to do things.

Dr Greet:

You know, and our body is made so interesting that if we eat the right stuff and our cells are communicating right, and with a little bit of that electrical modulation, we stimulate the body to self-healing. And it's not just about beauty and the face, we can uh heal injuries like acute injuries, we can heal uh chronic diseases like arthritis, it can all be healed or helped with the Ryu device, the electrical modulation, it's healing your body itself from within.

Cabo Jim:

Yeah, rather than just masking the pain for a temporary amount of time, you're actually fixing your body and correcting it and get back to where it should be.

Dr Greet:

Yes, because you know what we see in the in the traditional medical field, if the symptom is presenting it, they give you a pill, you know, they put a band-aid on the symptom. This new technology treats even your body before uh it's showing any symptoms.

Cabo Jim:

I love it.

Dr Greet:

So it's really going back to the source, what is happening in your body. We need good cell communication. What do we need for good cell communication is really oxygen, blood flow, nutrition, and actually the device helps your body to maintain that as you were younger. So it's it's it's a very interesting new field.

Cabo Jim:

But we are it is, it is, and I'm I'm excited for it too, because like I said, I'm all about the natural side of things. So if somebody were interested in in learning more and starting out, where where do you suggest they start with you?

Dr Greet:

I think you know, we do consultations because it's it's new, and when you say to people it's healing from within, they're like, is this a voodoo thing or what is this? So we do consultations and we try to explain it in a in the most simple way. And sometimes you know, we uh show them what it is, it's never painful, it's it's relaxing, it's even used in mental uh illnesses. But we have a great website and um renew you uh.com, Naples, what explains what's almost exactly the same as the European one because we work very close together with our European colleagues. There is about, I would say in Europe, 85 centers already with the Rio device. And we we are where we're really we're a great network, you know. We keep up to date. Uh, if they see something new, something better, we you know, uh jump on there immediately. We have a great networking system with Europe so far.

Cabo Jim:

I love it. Perfect, perfect. So I know it's not all fun and games, and running a business can be very demanding of your time, but when you do get a minute, what do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Dr Greet:

I well, I have grandkids. So I love my grandkids. And just last Sunday we took them to Miami to watch a football game, the Miami, Miami Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills. Very nice, very nice. So I like to spend a lot, I'm a family person, I like to spend a lot of time with uh my grandkids and my kids, of course. And uh otherwise, you know, I be in the gym a minimum three times a week, yeah. Uh weight lifting. And um, you know, I as of next week, my my I need to put in more cardio, so we will add cardio. I like to work out and stay healthy. So what I preach, I'm doing myself.

Cabo Jim:

I love it. Practice what you preach, and you're doing that. Uh yes, perfect. So again, I think you mentioned your website, but if somebody wanted to stop by and and check out take you out, how would they find you?

Dr Greet:

Well, they can uh we have uh Instagram, but they you know, we have we they can look it up online, renew you Naples, and we have uh the address is you know, if it says everything on our website, is 3801 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, Florida. And they can contact us uh you know by email or our phone number is 239-682-1306. And then they can come in for a consultation and we go from there. We are very flexible in hours because we know people work, so we come early, we stay late, we have no problem with that at all. For us, the client is number one, customer service is still number one, also.

Cabo Jim:

Yes, and a lot of people forgot that, but I'm glad you're still thinking that. So, any last words for listeners today?

Dr Greet:

Excuse uh repeat that please?

Cabo Jim:

Any last, any, any last words for our listeners today?

Dr Greet:

Well, I think it's time that everybody is uh should think about a healthy life so we can live longer. What we all you know hear about these days, longevity, but it's not living longer only, it's living healthier and doing what we gotta do right now so we have the health when we are 60, 70, 80, 90, and plus to still enjoy our kids, grandkids, great-grandkids. At that time, you know, we are retired, we have the money, we can do what we want because of our health.

Cabo Jim:

Yep, that's what we do.

Dr Greet:

Biggest thing.

Cabo Jim:

We work hard, so we want to be able to enjoy it as well, too. And that's why we live in paradise, right?

Dr Greet:

Yes, yes.

Cabo Jim:

Well, very good. It's been a pleasure, Dr. Eek, getting to know you, and I hope to see you well, hopefully out on the beach soon, right?

Dr Greet:

Yes, beach is very healthy. You know, we nature also we need uh the electrolytes from our nature. We need the water, we need to walk barefoot more, we need to uh look into the sun in the in the morning. So nature is built much more powerful than we know or even do.

Cabo Jim:

And we've got plenty of it down here, so get out there and enjoy it, correct? Enjoy, yes.

Dr Greet:

Thank you so much.

Cabo Jim:

Yep, you have a wonderful day. Thank you. Yeah, you too.

Dr Greet:

Bye-bye.
